Tried Frosty and all options in V1.46 and it works fine. Man I forgot how long the brakes take to stop – ran a few stoplights. I traveled in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, and Hope BC. Only noticed the mountain slopes disappeared on US20 and WYO789 out of Casper on the way to Greybull in Boysen S.P. The trees and vegetation were floating in thin air in these spots…lol. I like to use Frosty during the Christmas season.

Hey Grimes,
I messaged on the SCS forum but I wanted to try here. I had RBW but have disabled it but I am getting a heavy dark shadow on the front of my trucks which i posted a pic of in the forum post. It makse driving at night very difficult at times and even seems to cut into my LED headlights. Any idea what could be wrong. I have frosty at top with heavy right under.

The night time lighting is pretty much the same as the default game so I’m not how it would cause this issue, except the nights are longer obviously, Heavy Winter or any other addon should be above Frosty in Mod Manager btw.

I’ve been playing with the Frosty Winter now for 2 days, and definitely enjoying the challenge winter driving and snow storms present. I’ve noticed one thing/issue though. No matter what time of day it is, I can get a ticket for not having my headlights on. Is this intentional? It might be from some other mod, but I don’t think anything else effects time of day.
My solution for now is to just always turn on my headlights, 24/7, while driving. : )

It’s not something I’ve noticed so it could be another mod you’re using, the only time you should get a daytime headlight fine in ATS is when it’s snowing or when transitioning from dry to wet conditions, or perhaps early morning/evening.

Ok, it’s what I thought. I’ll check my other mods, but maybe it was in a transition period and I didn’t notice. Thanks for the reply and info!

Hi Grimes
I have started 2 weeks ago with ETS. Now I want to digg deeper into modding. This mod was described on TruckersMP and it looks gorgious to me. But I have a question installing this mod. On this page https://truckersmp.com/knowledge-base/article/84 is described how to install the mod in conjunctionwith TruckesMP. There is a section below saying the mod file should be placed in :\Documents\ETSMP. The question I have is: what is this folder used for also? Does belong to another piece of software used with TruckerMP or any other stand alone software?
Is it also possible to use your mods with ETS2 stand alone – Meaning without any MultiPlayer AddOn like TruckerMP or addtional ProMods addon. Specifically without ProMods as their board page does not allow to register at the moment due to bug in the page offering the register form.
Best Alex

Yes my mods are used in the standalone ETS2/ATS games in which case files are placed in either Documents/Euro Truck Simulator 2/mod or Documents/American Truck Simulator/mod. TruckersMP usually support my seasons mods at different times of the year and are placed in their own mod folder.
